"Stick to sport, should be free from politics": Andy Murray takes aim at politicians bemoaning cancel culture, but attempting to shutdown free speech
WTASunday, 05 November 2023 at 21:30
Andy Murray
criticized politicians who try to lament the culture of cancelation.
The former
world No. 1 concluded his 2023 season after losing in the first round of the
Paris Masters to Alex de Minaur (6-7, 6-4, 5-7). The British tennis player
remained competitive throughout the season and currently sits at world No. 42,
pending the last week of competition starting Monday at the Sofia Open and Metz
Open.
Murray
recently shifted his focus outside of tennis when discussing political
cancelation and freedom of expression, which garnered significant attention on
social media.
“Politicians
and political commentators “cancel culture is an attack on our right to free
speech!” Athlete makes comment or supports anything political “stick to (insert
sport) sport should be free from politics.”
While
Murray's season started well and he also achieved some good results during the
Grass season, the latter part of the year after Wimbledon wasn't entirely
positive. From his participation in the Canadian Open onward, the 3-time Grand
Slam champion couldn't manage to secure consecutive victories.
Following
the US Open, Murray mentioned that he would evaluate how frequently he would
continue playing.
“I’ve
obviously been progressing this year from a ranking perspective,” Murray said
in New York.
“You know,
I had some great matches in Australia. Well, quite a few amazing matches at the
beginning of the year really, in Doha, as well. Yeah, I think was close to, you
know, you never know what’s gonna happen, but I think I was close to having a
good run at Wimbledon.
“Yeah,
like, I still enjoy everything that goes into, you know, playing at a high
level. I enjoy the work. You know, the training and trying to improve and
trying to get better, I do still enjoy that,”
“Yeah, and
that’s what keeps me going. If things change and I stop enjoying that or my
results, my ranking and everything, like, if I start to go backwards in that
respect, you know, in a few months’ time I was ranked 60 in the world or
whatever instead of moving up the way, things might change.”
